    About this ebook

    Tess has a secret she didn't even know she had. An inheritance, so to speak.

    But this one's not money. It's in her blood.

     

    Clinical psychologist and HR executive at a biological research company, Tess Andreas is happiest in a controlled, predictable environment. But all that goes out the window when she becomes the victim of an elaborate ruse meant to use her genetic data for nefarious gain. So heinous, in fact, it could mean world domination by the most ruthless of players.

     

    Who can she trust?

    Will she survive this chaotic game of blood secrets?

    Will anyone?

      I moved to Los Angeles to sing. When was this? August? June? I was twenty-nine, and those were shapeless months, when the days blended together and I refused to pull them apart. My landlord was unusually close to her adult son. His name was Jeffrey,
